When duty collides with destiny, love might tear her world apart.
Princess Raea Tierson has spent eleven years within the halls of Drithm Academy, training among the stars to prepare for her future–one she’s always imagined bonded to her best friend, Kellan. Their magical Lumos Bond has been slowly growing, and she’s certain it’s only a matter of time before fate confirms what her heart already knows.
But everything changes when she reaches the Executive Order and is assigned to Taeolyn dorm under the leadership of the Academy’s dark prince–Anders “Ryker” Rykerson.
Brooding, untouchable, and soon to be crowned heir, Anders has never let anyone too close–until Raea. As her dorm leader and newly assigned escort, Anders finds himself fighting a bond he can't want but can no longer deny. She’s the one person he’s forbidden to love…and the only one who makes him feel alive.
As the veil protecting their system begins to weaken and whispers of war stir across the galaxy, Raea must make an impossible choice: hold fast to the boy she’s always loved, or embrace a future written in the stars with the one man who could shatter everything she thought she knew.
Loyalties will be tested. Hearts will be broken. And a bond foretold may be the only thing that can save them all.

Rings of Fate is a cozy, quest-style romantasy about Aren Bellamore, a sharp-tongued barmaid who wants nothing more than to escape her dead‑end life at the Raven’s Beak tavern, and Prince Dietan, an heir slowly being killed by the cursed Rings of Fate—ancient weapons of immense power bound to his body. After a near‑death encounter throws them together, the two strike a bargain: Aren will pose as Dietan’s fiancée so he can secretly travel in search of a way to break his curse, and in return he’ll give her the freedom and funds she’s always dreamed of. Their journey forces them through political schemes, dangerous lands, and attacks from monstrous Kilandrar, while their fake engagement slowly deepens into a very real, reluctant attraction that blurs the line between pretense and destiny—and may decide the fate of their kingdoms.

The Legacy series by Melissa K. Roehrich is a dark romantasy saga set in the god-forged realm of Devram, where humans, Fae, and god-descended Legacy maintain a fragile balance of power through ritualistic bonds, with Fae serving as "Sources" to fuel the six Kingdoms' heirs every five years via the high-stakes Selection. Orphaned Fae outcast Tessalyn "Tessa" Asura, marked by her volatile powers and mental fragility, is shockingly chosen as personal Source to Theon St. Orcas, brooding Heir of Endings from the shadowy Arius Kingdom, thrusting her into a life of captivity, temptation, and deadly intrigue as she uncovers realm-shattering secrets. Across Rain of Shadows and Endings, Storm of Secrets and Sorrow, Tempest of Wrath and Vengeance, and Dawn of Chaos and Fury, Tessa grapples with her awakening abilities, fractured loyalties to Theon and allies like Luka, betrayals from power-hungry lords, and a looming cataclysm that positions her as either savior or destroyer amid themes of trauma, desire, vengeance, and cosmic destiny.

Mystery/Thriller
Kill for Me Kill for You is a psychological thriller set in New York City, where grieving mother Amanda, whose young daughter was murdered, meets Wendy in a support group and discovers they share a consuming desire for vengeance against the men who destroyed their families. Drawing inspiration from a murder-swap idea, the women privately agree that each will kill the other’s target so neither will be the obvious suspect, believing this will create the perfect crime. In a parallel storyline, Ruth, survivor of a brutal home invasion by a serial attacker known only for his striking blue eyes, struggles with crippling trauma while her husband Scott becomes obsessed with finding the man the justice system cannot touch. As these threads slowly converge, the novel examines how grief and rage warp judgment, what revenge truly costs, and whether two wrongs can ever feel like justice, without revealing how the pact or the investigation ultimately unfold.

Romantasy
Rings of Fate is a cozy, quest-style romantasy about Aren Bellamore, a sharp-tongued barmaid who wants nothing more than to escape her dead‑end life at the Raven’s Beak tavern, and Prince Dietan, an heir slowly being killed by the cursed Rings of Fate—ancient weapons of immense power bound to his body. After a near‑death encounter throws them together, the two strike a bargain: Aren will pose as Dietan’s fiancée so he can secretly travel in search of a way to break his curse, and in return he’ll give her the freedom and funds she’s always dreamed of. Their journey forces them through political schemes, dangerous lands, and attacks from monstrous Kilandrar, while their fake engagement slowly deepens into a very real, reluctant attraction that blurs the line between pretense and destiny—and may decide the fate of their kingdoms.

Listen for the Lie is a twisty, voice‑driven mystery about Lucy Chase, a woman who was once found wandering a Texas roadside covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, with no memory of what happened the night Savvy was killed.

Years later, a hit true‑crime podcast called Listen for the Lie revisits Savvy’s case, dragging Lucy back home to confront the hostile town, the charismatic host determined to uncover the truth, and the gaps in her own memory, forcing her to piece together what really happened even if it means discovering she might be the killer after all.

A botched heist catapults her through a reopened gateway into the frozen fae realm of Yvelia, binding her fate to the brooding warrior Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate, a morally gray "Death Dealer" with murky motives who needs her powers to combat vampire hordes and ancient curses. Thrust into wars, labyrinthine traps, and uneasy alliances with his cadre amid betrayals and godly encounters, Saeris grapples with her awakening magic, forbidden desire, and the cost of survival in a world of elemental fae, undead threats, and razor-sharp banter.

As war brews between Peter, the fae royals, and Hook over control of Neverland, Winnie’s choices about who to trust and what she’s willing to become determine whether the island is saved or destroyed, without resolving the series’ central romantic or magical conflicts.

The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston is a magical realism romance about Clementine West, an overworked book publicist in New York City grappling with grief after her beloved aunt's unexpected death and suicide, who inherits the aunt's quirky Upper West Side apartment rumored to slip its occupants exactly seven years into the past. There, she encounters Iwan, a charming aspiring chef with a Southern drawl and a penchant for lemon pies, who believes it's 2016 and she's the intruder, leading to an unlikely summer romance filled with rooftop stargazing, heartfelt conversations, and rediscovered passions that challenge Clementine's rigidly planned life and emotional walls. As the time slip forces her to confront her avoidance of love, career crossroads, and the raw pain of loss—echoing her aunt's wisdom to "chase the moon" and embrace impermanence—the story weaves themes of timing, healing, and second chances without revealing how their temporal connection resolves or alters her future.

As massacres, kill orders, and necromantic threats escalate, Lena and a shifting cast of allies and enemies are forced into uneasy alliances, brutal choices, and a fight for mage survival that spans secret mage enclaves, besieged fortresses, and an ancient rising evil, with later novellas (like The Memories of Merrick) filling in emotionally pivotal missing days and deepening the series’ themes of trauma, love, betrayal, and reluctant leadership.

Under the guidance of her charismatic, morally gray adviser Dante, she becomes captivated by the moss-draped campus and its power, even as she uncovers the college’s dark history and realizes that mastering her magic may mean facing the corrupting pull of absolute power and deciding how far she’s willing to go to protect her new world.
